At a glance

The Code Encrypt Pro is a premium all-around stick with a mid kick and multiple flex/curve options, while the True HZRDUS is a stripped-down pro stock stick locked into one flex with a low kick for snap shots. The Code costs nearly twice as much but gives you way more customization, whereas the True is $180 and built for one job: quick releases.
